On This Side of The Barrier...

I feel friggin' GREAT! Nah, it's not that manic "honeymoon" part of recovery...it's actually feeling good and healthy in my own skin.
I am me and I belong in this world.

What was it...three, four weeks ago that I went through nasty-bad xanax withdrawals and was dope-sick as a lab-rat for a few days?
Well, ever since then I have felt progressively better. Steady, grateful, confident and alive. I am serene and in every given moment I am...here. By providence and the grace of God.
I WANT to extend my perimeter of affect.
I WANT to touch and be touched.
I WANT to live a life of love, truth and integrity.
I AM WILLING to turn my will and my life over to the care of God as I understand Him because He IS restoring me to sanity.

Peace and Blessed Be,
Rob

SO very glad for you...even when it is an appropriate medication, Xanax is a royal ***** to withdraw from.

So Great to hear that, and what Lee said, still a b....t to withdraw from.

I am with you  in another way too, I am now over the hideous side effects of a medication that I will now take for the rest of my life.....my symptoms were sure different, I felt like I had mid stage Parkingsons, hands were too shakey when I went to write, and then, even when I could, could not read my own writing.....Floconaide or something close in the spelling....but now I can see the good side, my heart has returned to a perfect rythum thanks to this medication. 

 my arthymia was blocking one side of my heart and I was in imminent danger of a heart attack or stroke, this happened suddenly after an event at my house at night when I was alone, it terrified ......me into having a small heart attack, as it turned out, it was so confusing, my heart has always been so healthy....

But hey this was the Long  version, lol, of just how good it is to look back and see the forrest, as opposed to not being able to see the forrest, for the trees.

God Bless you my dear Friend, and thanks for sending the love in my Post.

yaaaaaayyyyyy Rob!!!!! I "get" what you are talking about in relation to Step 3, I really do. It is a recovery of a different sort when we can get our bodies and minds back, the way that you are experiencing now. Awesome stuff!!!

Glad you are on the up side you deserve it.
